Unless he has flying to Kansas or something the flight length is complete bullshit. Looks like its 17-19 hours for west coast airports and at most 22 hours for nyc or Boston
Amsterdam - Rome - Perth is something like 17 hours on the long part, but the one time I did it I spent 11 hours on the Amsterdam - Rome part due to engine trouble.
I flew NYC to Seoul a few times (also the reverse flight) and that one is about the same flight time. Never again will I willingly fly to the other side of the planet. Not without month long stops between each 3000 miles or so.
See, your problem is not having a bunch of someone else’s money to burn so that you can fly first class. Economy for 20 hours is agony thanks to the cramped seating.
Probably wouldn’t be so bad if we could bring back the 747 design that had a passenger lounge in the upper level.
You really cannot be 100% sure with some of these. Ken Cheng is obvious. This one, not sure. Sounds like.
24 y/o, 3 majors in CS, economics and another thing. Founder. The fact that it’s a 30h flight. It has fuckery all around.

If he had multiple layovers he could hit 30 hours flight time. However you’re right, a nonstop flight from NYC to Saigon is only like 20 hours or so.

and that’s still not 30

Sometimes things happen. A lot of the times, actually.
Edit: way too many times
